In a teaching from the 1980s, Jetsunma taught about how the Light Expansion meditation helps one move past the feeling of separation, and begin to imitate the radiant qualities of one’s true nature: light and compassion.

“Effective prayer is about imitating that radiance. Through imitation of your true nature, you come to realize your true nature. You stop thinking about separation, and you stop buying into judgment, and you get out of limitations. Effective prayer is centering into that Absolute reality that is the core of what you are.” -Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
